✍️ Match Preview

Fixture Analysis

It is a Süper Lig clash, Regular Season - 26 as Göztepe welcome Samsunspor to Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu. Kick-off is set for Monday 3 March 2025 at 17:30 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Süper Lig games this season, Göztepe have gone 4W 2D 4L from 10 outings — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: W L L D L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Göztepe, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Göztepe's form when playing at home: 9W 0D 1L across 10 games at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu this term (2.70 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.70 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Göztepe are significantly better at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu than their overall form suggests.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Samsunspor stand at 5W 2D 3L from 10 Süper Lig matches — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W L W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets. This season is still relatively young for Samsunspor, so this record blends games from this season and last.

When travelling in Süper Lig this season, Samsunspor have posted 5W 2D 3L from 10 away outings — 1.70 PPG. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Göztepe 1.40 PPG, Samsunspor 1.70 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.

On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. Göztepe's 30% rate and Samsunspor's 30% (using home/away splits) both sit well below average — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.

Head to Head

The rivalry is an even one: 0 wins apiece for Göztepe, 1 for Samsunspor and 0 shared spoils from 1 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 7.0 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Göztepe 1.48 xG and Samsunspor 0.82 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Göztepe attack 1.095 / defence 0.817 | Samsunspor attack 0.852 / defence 0.823. League average goals — home 1.639 / away 1.182. Data: 23 Göztepe games / 62 Samsunspor games used (CurrentSeason).

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.30. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.30 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
